I’m not sure if I’ve told you about my lead foot, but I have one and it’s gotten me into trouble.

I have had a speeding problem since I was a newer teenage driver, I would go years without an issue and then bam…speeding tickets and a few of them, then nothing for a few years and then…yup, you guessed it, bam.

It was bad in Atlanta, well, I lived there for almost twenty years, so that’s where the bulk of the problem was. I even got one taking SDL and her sister, DJL, to the airport to bring Miss A back to the states! That one, I would say, was totally worth it!

I have been doing really well over the last 3 years, but I have to ask…Why oh why does driving on the highways in Atlanta compel me to want to driver faster? Probably because everyone else is doing it, but…I don’t necessarily want to speed, it feels good to go fast, but I don’t really need to do that! But I want to…somebody stop me! [this was a holiday weekend, it could have been bad!]

There are roads in Colorado that are 75mph, wahoo! Give me more of those and I’ll be happy.

I started setting the cruise control on the car and that saved me a lot, I use it no matter what city I’m in, it so helps, but do you know what got me to stop speeding in Atlanta this trip? I left! I’m back in Michigan and no speeding! Whew!
